[quote=Anonymous]It all depends. I recently decided to step down from my very stressful job. So we went from making 7 figures to living on $250k/year. And you know what, it's ok. We are fine. The kids are fine. They now go to a public school. I cook, so we no longer constantly order in or throw away food because we did not plan well. We don't throw money at problems, instead, we do a lot ourselves. I could not be happier. The kids 529s should continue to grow. We will re-evaluate college options when time comes. So far, so good. We did move away from the DMV to have a fresh start. Unfortunately, we are still in VHCOL area (moved closer to family), but the attitude is more relaxed where we are now. My kids won't inherit the millions that they otherwise would have, had I stayed in my toxic job, but I hope that they will be happy with the memories of an involved and happy mother. [/quote]
